i finally bought a kayak. its a pelican castaway. it came with a rod holder in front and two behind, as well as a decent back support and a paddle. i bought a regular version for the wife. we mostly paddle rivers in a 15' canoe, but you can't beat the simplicity of these little boats. its really fun and has expanded my fishing areas. I would love to get a job in marketing for a manufacturer. i bet i could sell a bunch around here. Pelican, let me know when i can start.

They definitely are nice. My wife and kids use one. But my back won't allow me to do it.
